Improving Yourself Alone - Tumblr Posts
Why...
I'm really patient with others. Not with myself, but with others. Trust me.
BUT I'm losing my temper to my uni. I've started hated it since third semester. But from the beginning...
I'm studying architecture. For those of you who don't know - there are some ideological trends, experienced by very valuable people in this field. Like Walter Gropius, for example. And you know what triggered me the most? My teachers really respect all of those experiences from the past and all of incredible architects BUT THEY DO EVERYTHING IN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAY, acting like they have no idea how to keep students inspired, motivated, how to broaden students' horizons and open minds. There are many "how to teach architecture" things. But professors here ignore all the steps that led the great architects to their success and do the opposite, being aware of these steps. They should try to instill these values in pupils at least a bit. But they don't. They only require being amazing individuals, at the same time they're giving nothing for us and not helping us to grow. I understand that I could demand too much but the ignorance and egoism are probably the worst things where the heart of the field is openness and learning from experience. Most of my values are from books and internet, not from teachers. They don't give a shit about us.
Do you know why I'm writing this today?
Because I was just touched by another (probably it's 736th example) situation of such treatment.
Do you know how many professors who I know, respect students and try to improve their work?
Two. One of them died 3 weeks ago.
